BY VIRGINIA STILL 209 Staff Reporter There is a landmark in Riverbank that has been on the corner of Atchison and Second Street since 1945 known as Nifty’s Restaurant where they serve up delectable dishes for breakfast and lunch. A charming, warm, hospitality service professional Linda Mitchell may be the face that greets you when you walk through the doors – she has been working there for over 40 years and is partial owner with her mother Betty Mitchell. Bill and Betty Mitchell purchased the restaurant in 1976 where both cooked and provided a car hop service to patrons until 11 p.m. The car hop service was well received by patrons that would sit in their car and wait until a waiter or waitress would approach the vehicle and take their order.
